I was trying for candid, but she looks like she knew I was taking a photo, right?
Gambia tour 2020.
===============
RELATIVELY large , with a huge red and black bill. it was a joy watching this one hunt fiddler crabs, which have one very enormous claw, and he avoids the biggest ones, as they may come out top. This K.F was very bold at the Kotu bridge, and poised for quite a while. Hope you enjoy.
=========================
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, it means a lot, will look forward to seeing your latest postings, have been very busy with sorting my images, and family duties, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Please stay safe and well, God bless you...................................Tomx.
I took a walk after lunch along Skeleton Creek to see what I could see. The 'semi-resident' White-faced Heron was hunting for lunch.
This Bee Balm, variety 'Fireball', is new for my garden. I haven't even planted it yet, but based on its reception by the hummingbirds, it's a keeper!
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Composed by the roadside he weighed a level branch down knowing he was beautiful the clear white sweep of him
tufted ears and round orange head he blinked his eyes, rested iron claws easy let us see enough of him
and find undercurrents lifted slowly wafted wide wings poised in the even air figure skated on the breeze
allowed himself to fall a small space gracefully and rolled the lazy evening forward and backward over the hump in the road
he hung on those sunken eyes swung over the field hedge poured down from that low sky was gone…..

Another shot from last week - I like the gentle curve of the plant that the butterfly had perched on.

Always after the elusive Kingfisher shot...but they are mostly so far away that the resulting image is iffy due to the mamooth crop!! But hey ho...one day. It's just always a joy to see them regardless 😍
A railway photographer stands in position at Spray Point half way along the sea wall waiting for the Westbury to St Blazey RHTT.
There is a storm blowing hard from the east generating a large amount of spray which is suspended in the air. As the sun bursts through the clouds everything is momentarily back lit. Fortunately i turned around just at the right time.
I watched this Grey Heron fishing for some time & the first thing that struck me about it was how incredibly patient they are. Standing stock-still for minutes at a time, poised like this & not striking until exactly the right moment.
Lackford lakes in Suffolk - Sept 2016.
I'm pretty sure this little frog was posing just for me :-)
I'll give the frog series a rest now and move on to other subjects, but I expect I'll have a few more eventually since they're still hanging out in the garden. With any luck, next summer I'll have even more. I'm trying to figure out if I can create a space for them to reproduce right there in my small garden.
This owl was reacting to the sound of another owl hooting close by. Then he flew off after it into the trees. Wondering if these were siblings as a friend saw Great Grey owlets in this area in the summer.
A little egret (egretta garzetta) poised on a high bank overlooking a lake in Phang Nga, Thailand. The bird was staring intently into the shallow water at the edge of the lake, no doubt hoping to spot a passing fish.
Blue-fronted Dancer (Argia apicalis)
Santee State Park, South Carolina, U.S.A.
The Blue-fronted Dancer earns its name from its bouncy flight, a trait that distinguishes it from other similar damselflies like bluets. Interestingly, its adult life is incredibly brief—typically lasting only 7 or 8 days! They play a vital ecological role by controlling populations of other damselflies and smaller insects.
IUCN Red List Assessment (2014): Least Concern
A Blue Heron is locked onto a target and about to uncoil its neck in a lightning fast strike that will seize its prey.

Common Gum Tree Shield Bug (Poecilometis patruelis)
I had a look to see if the Mantis was around today, I found this Shield Bug instead.
